Wise Pilgrim APPGüemes is famous among pilgrims for one reason: the albergue. Run by Father Ernesto Bustio and a small group of volunteers, it has a reputation as one of the essential overnight experiences on the Camino del Norte. The hospitality is genuine, the evening meal is communal, and the atmosphere tends to stay with people long after they leave.
The albergue is on the camino itself, so you won't miss it. The village is small — a church, a handful of houses, and the surrounding farmland.
San Lorenzo is celebrated on the 10th of August and Nuestra Señora de Consolación on the first Saturday of September.
The route from the church in Güemes (along the shortcut) and the official camino rejoin on the CA-443 at the west end of town. This is the same road that led into town, but the number changed at the church. Where it reaches a junction with another main road, turn left. Galizano is ahead and on your right. You will turn off the road to pass through it.
